As a girl I often found myself inspired from the world around me and from the people I knew to do things and to create new stories. Most of all however, to challenge others and myself in order to change the world around me to the better. In the past few years this inspiration has ceased to flow from humanity, and instead from the small things that God tweaks each day that just remind me, that he's there.

New tools

Recently we began to explore three mediums in art class, these being colored pencils, chalk, and oil pastels. Honestly, I adpre all three of these mediums, whith colored pencil being my far favorite. The detail and control one can muster via belending and layers is wonderful.
With chalk, one has to be careful as to distrbute the buildup and layer gently. The chalk often gets all over ones hands and well, everything.
Oil pastels tend to blend almost too much, all over eachoter and everythin they touch, risking stains to clothing and unwanted colors smearing over eachother.
